— A one-time reunion concert with WAR will be April 21 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Burdon has not performed with the group in 37 years.

— His recent album, “Soul of a Man,” reaffirms the same commitment to the blues that inspired his role in the British Invasion.

The British Invasion’s Eric Burdon was an innocent bystander in another, much-less-publicized invasion during his Lake Tahoe concert in September 2006, when a handful of audience members jumped onto the stage.

Newcastle born Geordie boy Burdon has some advice for anybody who gets the notion to try it at Saturday’s show at Harrrah’s Lake Tahoe.

Don’t let me be misunderstood — the playful Burdon still is at the top of his game. Here’s a few of the things he’s been up to lately.
